Hi,
I suggested to the author of SwapCop, J. Schier if he could change the way SwapCop works to the one suggested in this hint.

In response, he asked me to post his comment:


Comment by J. Schrier, author of Swap Cop ( http://homepage.mac.com/jschrier ), in response to an email from Ralf Welter pointing to this article:

"Actually, the method used in this article is incorrect (although it is the one used in earlier versions of Swap Cop). The OS X/Darwin disk system does not have fixed mount points like many other Unices, and so as a result, setting fstab mounts does *not* guarantee that you get the disk you want, resulting in "/swap/disk/name 1", type problems. The better way is to use the method implemented in the current (1.1.2) version of Swap Cop, which is described more fully at http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/OS_x_swapfile_notes.html

Regards,
